Adventure

The scene is familiar; you are chatting with your roommate about possible adventures to partake in around the city. Laura Szumowski gathered such a list she made with her roommate and illustrated them with location details and adorable graphics.

"Translator-sleuth Cassandra Reilly takes off after new literary adventures around the globe! The Death of a Much-Travelled Woman gathers in one volume the exploits and mishaps of the globetrotting Cassandra Reilly. In these nine madcap investigations, Cassandra journeys to such varied locations as Helsinki, Hawaii, Vladivostock, Reykjavik, and the English countryside. The thefts, murders, and other crimes she's called on to help solve are engagingly literary, with more than a dash of satire aimed at publishers, editors, writers, and of course, translators. Goodhearted, witty, and rakishly unabashedly lesbian, Cassandra Reilly is a wonderful travelling companion for armchair or train compartment."

A work inspired by the author's true experience hiking the Appalachian Trail from New York to Maine with her son and daughter-in-law. Thoughts on trail food, hiking tips, and preparation and training scattered throughout.<br />
